...whilst on a public engagement must have either a) a screw loose or b) major exhibistionistic tendencies?

She has clearly made a policy of eschewing hem weights.

She knew she would be getting into a helicopter.

It looks like she is commando, although I suppose there is the possibility of a dental floss g-string.

I'm just Shock

You sound almost disappointed chipped Grin Grin

The helicopter updraught has also lifted William's jacket, which presumably is a heavier material. So perhaps she had some weights, but they weren't enough?

Gruntfuttock · 26/05/2014 21:34

She could've simply held her skirt down with her hands.

SaucyJack · 26/05/2014 21:35

She could've worn pants........

FidelineandFumblin · 26/05/2014 21:36

There must be fairly precise knowledge in the RF about what size of dressmaking weights defeat a helicopter updraught?

TillyTellTale · 26/05/2014 21:37

Perhaps she's trying to come up with a new blend of tradition and modernism? Or has shares in tabloids

FidelineandFumblin · 26/05/2014 21:39

Grunt and Saucy be fair - her degree is in Art History.

I was more disappointed by the fact that she was in economy and I wasn't (had to find a reason to stroll through the cabin so I could rubber neck at her).

Sorry crap phone!

FidelineandFumblin · 26/05/2014 21:42

(oops)...is in Art History. Complicated engineering solutions are probably beyond her Smile

Economy? Really?

She has a great arse, if mine wasn't so fat I'd flash it all the time. Of course she didn't flash it, it was the weather (that bastard!). The last time I wore 'Bridget Jones' knickers because of my shape if they controlled my tummy properly they were so far up my arse hey flashed my fanjo too!

oldgrandmama · 26/05/2014 21:49

Once upon a time. I'd have recommended M & S pure cotton knickers. One could buy: bikini/high leg/shorts/control/ high waisted (the last favoured by oldgandmama) These were sturdy, well-made nicks, laundered like a dream and you could buy all sorts of colours, though I favoured pure virginal white as they stood up well to countless Persil sessions.

M & S still do these knickers, but now they're pale imitiations of their former glory ... thin, miserable, sad garments that one could poke one's finger through with ease ... [that is NOT some occult invitation for pervy types to jump onto this - if your 'thing' is poking through knickers, keep it to yourself on MN).

Anyway, before I lose the thread, I'd suggest the Duchess avoids M & S but sends a lackey to her lingerie supplier of choice ... Fenwicks of Bond St. have a great undies dept ... oldgrandmama once got thrown out of there, but that's another story.

Chippednailvarnish · 26/05/2014 21:53

Yep economy. Stuck next to everyone reading the Daily Fail with a story about her on the cover...

TillyTellTale · 26/05/2014 21:54

She was in economy?!

oldgrandmama you cannot leave us hanging like that!

FidelineandFumblin · 26/05/2014 21:55

I'm tempted to ask. Would I be unwise?

Presumably you're not a public figure though fern & It was a helicopter (so expected).

FernArable · 26/05/2014 22:04

Sadly I'm not public figure. Perhaps if I flash my arse enough I will be one day.

On reflection that probably would be enough to make me a public figure and that has its own issues.

FidelineandFumblin · 26/05/2014 22:06

"Most arrested flasher". That kind of thing?

FernArable · 26/05/2014 22:07

FernArable · 26/05/2014 22:09

I'm already practicing my "i'm not a sexual deviant, I just like the feel of wind up my arse' face.

oldgrandmama · 26/05/2014 22:10

Ah well, since you insist ... [thought you'd never ask]. Once or twice a year, an old friend of my late husband and I used to meet up, in an Italian restaurant off Oxford St., London, for a lovely, boozy lunch where we reminisced about my darling husband - old friend was one of his oldest friends, from way back in the 1950s when old friend ran an ad. agency (very 'Mad Men') - husband had once had to fire agency, but they still remained friends.

We did used to get quite emotional [drunk] and sometimes tearful, showing each other photos of late husband, remembering loads of stuff about him. So after lunch, to cheer ourselve up, we'd stagger wander into Oxford St. to go shopping, saying it's what my late husband would have wanted (he would, too - he was a lovely, generous man). One day we went into Fenwicks, Bond St., and I decided I could do with some more undies. Old friend waited patiently outside changing rooms, while I tried stuff on.

I liked a very pretty and quite respectable bra (that was the time when I was a pert(ish) 34 something or other, so I popped out of the changing room and asked old friend if he though late husband would have approved? Before he could say 'yes!' stroppy sales assistant told me to get dressed and GO!

Sad thing is, old friend died two years later, about a month after our final boozy lunch (when we DIDN'T go shopping afterwards).

FidelineandFumblin · 26/05/2014 22:11

Ha! That sounds awfully erm specific

SirChenjin · 26/05/2014 22:16

Leave the woman alone....her dresser had obviously phoned in sick that day, and she couldn't be expected to spend a hard day waving and remember to put on knickers. FFS.

Voodoobooboo · 26/05/2014 22:18

I may have missed the point, but surely the issue is a pervert photographer taking the pic, then not deleting a pornographic image, then selling it, to a newspaper that publishes it under a charter of "public interest"
Comments like "she should use hem weights" have a definite whiff of victim blaming and women being responsible for disgusting misogynistic behaviour by asking for it.
